About ALLEY CATS LV

BRENT MUSCAT (ex FASTER PUSSYCAT) & TAKASHI O’HASHI (ex CATS IN BOOTS) have teamed up together to create and form the new band “ALLEY CATS LV” in Las Vegas, NV.

This is the second coming of East Meets West
ALLEY CATS LV is not an overnight story.
In fact, it can be said that the ALLEY CATS LV got its start way back in the 1980's during the Sunset Strip’s heyday when ROCK'N'Roll ruled the air waves.
1987 BRENT MUSCAT co-founder of FASTER PUSSYCAT debuted from Elektra Records with it reaching Gold status, and the follow up album hitting Platinum status.
During that same time TAKASHI O’HASHI departed the rapidly successful Japanese Hard Rock band SEIKIMA II to pursue his new ambition in America and formed CATS IN BOOTS in Los Angeles, CA.
CATS IN BOOTS was internationally debuted from EMI USA and released KICKED & KLAWED in 1989. During this time frame, both breathed the same LA air and grew up in the harsh Hollywood rock scene together.

2015 BRENT MUSCAT had a session gig at the world famous The Viper Room in Hollywood, CA. For this gig, BRENT MUSCAT invited TAKASHI O’HASHI as a special guest to perform on stage together. After more than 2 decades the two meet again. That night, a special chemistry between both guitarist ignited. From that moment a promising music project was destined for the near future. Also on stage that evening, was ZACH THRONE (Vo.,Bass) & STEPHEN MILLS (Drums). Without a single rehearsal, and a brief backstage introduction, the first note they played together was live on stage that night.

May of 2016, Las Vegas, NV, TAKASHI O’HASHI and BRENT MUSCAT invite ZACH THRONE to join the ALLEY CATS project and start writing new material for an upcoming album. BRENT MUSCAT and TAKASHI O’HASHI performed their first official ALLEY CATS live at Lucky Strike, & the Viper Room in Hollywood, CA with special guest Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats) and Lonny Paul (Adler).

September 2016 As fate would have it that the 4 Cats that performed at the Viper Room in 2015, would come together to form the official ALLEY CATS LV line up and record the self-produced EP.
